Artists are invited to submit an application to have their work juried for exhibition in the Kanata Civic Art Gallery. The Kanata Civic Art Gallery operates as a co-operative, and the hours of operation are staffed on a voluntary basis by its artist members. Members are responsible for staffing the Gallery a minimum of 10 shifts per year ( approx. 3.5 hrs. per month ) as well as actively participating in the running of the Gallery.

Each Gallery member must maintain a regular production of original artwork for exhibition. Approximately nine new exhibitions are presented each year. All work shown in the Gallery must be for sale, and artists will be paid within 30 days of a sale with a 15% commission retained by the Gallery. The success of the Gallery depends on the commitment of its members to present creative, and high quality artwork for exhibition to the public.

The annual fee for membership is $120.00.
